10 Man o' War Is Easy Winner Of .'Big Race Sam Riddle's Galloper Cops Thoroughbred Champion ship and $73,000 Purse Over Sir Barton. Windsor, Ont., Oct. 12. The thor oughbred championship of the conti nent rests tonight on the American side of the border, .) Man O War, the greatest 3-year-old of the year, galloped home with the equine honors of 1920 at Kcnil worth Jockey club track this after noon, a full eight lengths, in front ef Sir Barton, the great 4-year-old from Commander J. K. L, Ross's stables. The time was 2:03, more than a full second faster than 'the old Canadian record for the distance. ' . Samuel D. Riddle of Philadelphia, owner of the victor, is the richer to night by the purs of $75,000 and a gold cup valued at $5,000. " The race was over a course of a mile and a quarter at weight for age, the winner carrying 120 pounds to the loser's 126. A $2 ticket on the winner paid $2.10. - - Between 29,000 and;3,Q00 persons paid to see the two great horse? race, the attendance figures and gate receipts setting a new high mark in the history of Canadian racing. The time, 2:03 flat, was more than a second slower than the record of both horses Sir Barton has a mark of 2:01 4-5. which was later tied by Man O War. The slow time was i partly due to the fact that the victor was never in danger from the time he took the lead at the first 16th pole, . Sir Barton drew the rail and was hway with a jump, but the lead was short lived. Jockey Clarence K:im mcr sent Man O War alongside, and then ahead. When fhc "stands were reached, at the end of the first quar ter, the Riddle horse had a two lengths lead. Frankie Keotigh. who had the mount on the Canadian horse as a result of a last minute change when Commander Ross with drew Jockey Earle Sande, rjdq' a hard race but was unable -to cut down that distance. JCunimer kept Man O War in check to the three quarter pole, then let out a wrap and the great 3-year-old responded with a burst of speed' that left Sir Bar ton eight lengths behind before the stretch was reached. The last quarter-mile dowin. the stretch was an easy gallop, with Kummer visibly 'casing up his mount. ' , s j . , . Detailed Accoint of Last Game of First Inning. Brooklyn Olson up.

' The High School of Commerce foot ball team went 'through a harcr scrimmage with the second squad yesterday , afternoon at Thirty-second and Dewey avenue. Coach Drummond worked his proteges on forward passes, as the aerial route will probably be used extensively against Beatrice High when the two teams meet on the Gage county lads' field Friday. 4 The varsity squad was successful in using parses against the "scrubs" and scored 'almost at will, although Dritrntiinnrl lma Iippu working hard with his inicmen to polish off the rough spots. . A fw changes iu the lineup may , i : . ti.A ....' I. Beatrice Friday. Leonard Kuhry, right guard 3nd captain of the re serves, has been displaying a real brand of foot ball and probably will be annexed to the first squad before the next game. Barring any injuries to his players, Coach Drummond expects to have a stronger team against Beatrice than he had 'against Central. " Marcus Krasne, heavy tackle, has been showing trp well in practice and is exoected to do the brunt of fhe heavy line plunges.- . ' I he game with Beatrice is one or the hardest contests on the book keepers schedule, and one which will probably decide the state title, as Lincoln High has already suf fered two defeats at. the hands of state schools.
